IN  SCHOOL  COMMITTEE,  BOSTON,  March  1,  1915.

authorized  as  School  Document  No.  3,  1915,  and  that  five 
thousand  (5,000)  copies  be  printed  for  distribution.

Acting  Secretary. 


A   FOREWORD. 


The  committee  in  charge  of  this  catalog  has  made  a 
real  contribution  that  will  be  of  great  service  to  our 
teachers.  I  note  that  they  have  prepared  a  remarkably 
well-balanced  list  of  that  sort  of  educational  literature 
that  is  fresh  and  pertinent  to  the  interests  of  all  teachers. 
There  is  hardly  any  taste  that  will  not  be  satisfied  with 
the  collection  they  have  made.  I  notice  the  standard 
pedagogical  works  and  in  addition  the  latest  and  best 
in  psychology,  biology,  child  study,  related  biography, 
vocational  training  and  social  problems. 

As  a  man  is  known  by  the  company  he  keeps,  so 
teachers  are  best  recognized  by  their  literary  comrade- 
ship. The  highest  incentives  of  our  profession  are  those 
that  arise  out  of  our  interest  in  education  as  a  profession. 
All  these  works  relate  to  the  profession  in  some  of  its 
phases  and  I  can  think  of  hardly  any  desire  for  knowl- 
edge of  educational  activities  that  cannot  be  satisfied 
by  the  use  of  this  collection. 

How  delightful  it  would  be  if  in  every  school  district 
a  coterie  of  choice  spirits  could  get  together  in  weekly 
or  monthly  meetings  and  use  one  of  these  books  as  a 
basis  not  only  for  self -improvement  but  for  conversa- 
tion and  a  good  time  together!  Our  own  work  is  too 
much  with  us.  "  Seeking  and  getting  we  contract  our 
powers." 

The  pleasantest  of  all  good  fellowship  is  that  which 
comes  from  intellectual  recreation  together.  As  we 
broaden  or  intensify  our  interests  we  renew  our  youth 
as  well  as  strengthen  our  intellectual  foundation. 

Blessings  go  with  this  little  book.

Teacher,  educate  thyself.  In  bending  with  a

guidance  and  illumination  in  thy  work  for  others, 
but  an  unfailing  source  of  enthusiasm  without  which 
thou  canst  not  be  a  framer  of  immortal  souls.
